Tour of the Dragon Bicycle Race 2015

Tour of the Dragon Bicycle Race 2015

268 km one-day event

Considered one of the most challenging one-day events in the world, the race covers 268 kilometers of absolutely stunning Himalayan landscapes as it takes cyclists from central to western Bhutan. Bikers traverse indomitable mountains, travel through pristine, virgin forests, over babbling streams and raging rivers of crystal clear water and across four high mountain passes. Set amid the high mountains of Bhutan, the race covers elevations ranging from 1,200-3,340 meters. Much like the infamous Paris Roubaix, the Tour of the Dragon is a trial that no self respecting cyclist will want to pass up.
